Postcard Friendship Friday Remember The Alamo




Hello to Postcard Friendship Friday .. hope that you are having a great day.
This postcard is of The Alamo built 1718 in San Antonio, Texas
Very pretty and colorful. We visited San Antonio and the Alamo over 10 years ago. First time seeing the Alamo and would love to visit again.



Back of post cards says

The sacred Alamo stands within the very heart of the business district of the city of San Antonio. It was erected in 1718 by the Franciscan Monks and was originally the Chapel of the Mission of San Antonio de Valera. It was within the gray stone walls of the quaint old Chapel, March 6 1836 that Travis , Barrett, Bowie, Crockett and 170 unsung heroes gave their lives in defense of Texas liberty.

If you have never visited and get the chance to see the Alamo I recommend it. They say it is one of the most haunted places in the USA. I did not see any ghosts on my visit but I did feel a sense of sadness and quiet. It was is one of the most eerie places I have ever visited.

I am sharing this at The Best Hearts Are Crunchy for Friendship Friday

Thanks for stopping by.. I hope that you come back real soon

    I have heard that this was haunted, with so much death and violence that happened here. So much sadness.
    Happy PFF!

    Pretty card, must be a fascinating place to visit. The events must have seeped into the stones.

    I never visited the Alamo, but I remember it from the Davy Crockett show.

    I'm old enough to remember the phrase but not remember the Alamo first hand. Thank you for sharing a place I have not had the pleasure to visit.

    Great postcard ," I Remember The Alamo "
    the modern one is so diiferent than the one of my childhood .
    One thing about being as old as I am I can remember how things looked before the great population explotion of the past 40 years and the changes that have accompanied the growth.
    Thank you for sharing this wonderful vintage postcard.
    May you enjoy all the rest of your weekend.
    Until next time
    Happy Trails
